CMB bonus: Dexterity modifier for Disarm, Sunder and Trip with Weapon Finesse - page 61-63

Liberty's Edge

New rule
The Dexterity modifier can be used instead of the Strength modifier for the Disarm, Sunder and Trip combat maneuvers if the attacker has the Weapon Finesse feat for the weapon used to perform the combat maneuver.

Discussed here: CMB = suggested alteration - Str Mod OR Dex Mod

Liberty's Edge

See also my suggestion for the Agile Maneuvers feat:
Agile Maneuvers: for defense only

Liberty's Edge

If CMB isn't going to be Str- or Dex-based, then my second suggestion would be to rename Weapon Finesse and allow it to not only apply to weapons, but to CMB as well. I actually think that the name, Agile Maneuvers, works quite well.

(updated to cover combat maneuvers performed with a ranged weapon)

New rule

The Dexterity modifier can be used instead of the Strength modifier for combat maneuvers if the attacker may use the Dexterity modifier for attack rolls with the weapon used to perform the combat maneuver.
